slotbet ISRO SpaDex: Distance Between Satellites At 3 Meters, Docking Delayed For Third Time
The Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) SpaDeX mission saw two satellites come as close as three metres in a trial attempt for space docking before being delayed. slotbet
After coming close, the satellites are being moved back, the Indian space agency said. The satellites will then move closer to each other at a speed of 10 millimeters per second, it said.
China got off to a positive start as they kept the ball under control, and made it difficult for the Koreans to break through.
Akhimullah Anuar scored Malaysia's lone goal in the 34th minute. The victory gave India the lead in the standings with nine points from three successive wins.
“A trial attempt was made to reach up to 15 meters, with further progress towards 3 meters. Following this, the spacecrafts are being moved back to a safe distance. The docking process will proceed after a thorough analysis of the data. Stay tuned for further updates,” ISRO said in a tweet on January 12.
This is the third time that the mission has been delayed. Earlier on January 8 ISRO delayed the processciting excessive drift during a crucial manoeuvre. Before that the space agency had planned it on January 7, which was cancelled and postponed.
The SpaDeX is a pivotal project, which is designed to develop and demonstrate the technology needed for spacecraft rendezvous, docking, and undocking using two small satellites. "SpaDeX will serve as a milestone in advancing India’s capabilities in space docking, a critical technology for future space missions including satellite servicing, space station operations, and interplanetary missionsslotbet,” ISRO said in an explainer earlier.
